Getting a Tattoo in Thailand

Getting a Tattoo in Thailand
The article on the above link from Thaizer's website has an interesting post about sak yant which helps me to understand how people who have an average basic knowledge see the matter, and also helps me to see that most people are misled into believing rumors and creating false myths as a result of the "Chinese whispers" phenomenon.
The koh pangan misspelled tattoo mentioned is real as i know who made it (i used to share a shop there with a tattooist) - but to think that sak yant tattoos are sometimes misspelled is not true in general (with the exception of the fact that not all masters spell the same word in the same manner - this is due to the fact that some monks are not well read and also that Khom agkara lettering has more than one way to create a certain pronunciation due to the 2 storied (above and below) way of writing double consonants).
Read and laugh.
